When 11-year-old Sally Chee disappeared while playing beside
the San Juan River everyone assumed she had drowned – until her mutilated body was found far from
the river. When the body of a second child was found on the Navajo Reservation,
rumors began to spread. When a third body was found, fear began to spread . . .
FBI Special Agent Gray Keller has worked cases like this before – has excelled at
it, in fact. He doesn’t work those cases anymore. But Gray is about to learn
that a good reputation can be a hard thing to leave behind.
Lane Alden wants nothing more than to find a refuge from the psychic flashes that
have ruined her marriage and turned her life upside down. The land of her grandmother’s
stories offers that refuge – until Lane’s unwelcome ability begins revealing glimpses of
a horror lurking behind the peaceful Southwestern landscape.
Now another child has disappeared – a child who may still be alive – and Gray is desperate enough to
take any help he can get; even the help of a reluctant psychic.
But someone else is on the hunt with them, someone who
cannot allow Gray and Lane to find the killer first. Someone who is willing to
kill to stop them . . .
